Hello! I’m Sami, Designer & Doula based in Cornwall.
Yes, it’s a bit of an unusual combination but it sits harmoniously with the way that I work and I am so thrilled to share this journey with you.
Following over 10 years of design work and a dedication to slow fashion I have felt not only an unwavering need to create with purpose but a huge pull to contribute further within my Cornish community. An alternative desire to build a hybrid business that draws upon true emotion, service and responsibility.
In order to create, one needs to be inspired and given time to process that inspiration into an outcome. Creating is something that will always be part of me. It is how I function. However there was a gap and a pull towards supporting something raw, beautiful and what I feel is massively overlooked within our culture - The support given to a Birthing Person and their family.
A step out of the design industry to focus on Doula training has been the best decision I have made. Broadening my learning and experience whilst nurturing my creative desires has overwhelmed me with an energy to share, contribute and join an incredible network of doulas here in Cornwall.
Pregnancy, Birth and the transformation into parenthood is possibly the biggest and most important passage many individuals and families will venture into. I’m here to celebrate and support this sacred time offering empathy, encouragement, knowledge and support. Holding space to enable birthing individuals to tap into their intuition and find their purpose, potential and their power!
I am Red Tent trained Birth & Postpartum Doula with experience in traditional postpartum care including a focus on the first 40 days, traditional nourishment, herbal remedies, massage and esoteric traditions including wrapping and closing ceremonies.
Alongside this work and my continued path of learning I illustrate and design product influenced by my experiences with the families I work with.
